Spring ephemeral, a photo from 福島, 東北

Photographer's Note

The name of this flower is called Kiczakiitige（a scientific name is Anemone pseudo-altaica）.
This flower blooms when the snow has just melted. And, it disappears from the ground putting up the seed when surrounding trees expand the leaf.
It looks more beautiful that the light that reflects to a surrounding snow that melting remains is bathed in on the day when the weather is good.

Hi Hirotoshi,

Image is very fine. Definition is good, and so are colours.

Image could be a little sharper, still. Also you could remove a portion of the top of the image. Cropping tighter around the flower and the fly would also be positive.

These are just my opinions.

Good effort, though. It is a very attractive image of nature in Japan. :)

Regards,
Richard
